Sidney Kibrick
Sidney Henry Kibrick is an American former child actor, most notable for appearing in the Hal Roach short subjects series Our Gang. He attended Mount Vernon Junior High. Kibrick made a brief non-dialogue appearance as an extra in the feature film Dead End, observed as one of three or so children huddled together during one of the river dock scenes. He made his uncredited film debut in 1933's ""Out all Night", and after a few more uncredited roles was cast in 1935 in Our Gang, from 1937 to 1939, in that series he portrayed "Woim", the sidekick of the neighborhood bully "Butch", played by Tommy Bond. He was the brother of Leonard Kibrick, who himself played an Our Gang bully.
He later worked as a real estate developer after leaving show business in the 1940s. He kept in touch with Our Gang members at reunions, some of which he used to host. In 1991, he acknowledged that he had avoided the tragic lives that former child actors often ended up having as adults. In July 2017, he was reported as one of the few surviving cast members of the original Our Gang series.
